Story from Yahya Shawai, Kano

In a significant development, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has taken action by relieving the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of Hasiya Bayero paediatrics hospital, Kano from their duties.

This move comes as a result of the Governor’s strong commitment to the healthcare sector, where he has diligently re-equipped and renovated the hospital with state-of-the-art facilities.

During the inauguration of these facilities, Governor Abba underscored the vital role of the CMD in maintaining the hospital’s standards and issued a stern warning regarding potential consequences for any lapses.

However, yesterday evening, the Governor made an unannounced visit to the hospital and discovered that the facilities were in a suboptimal condition.

Furthermore, it was observed that the CMD had not successfully united the hospital staff into a cohesive team and had failed to implement government directives, including providing free consultations, admissions, and treatments, among other crucial issues.

Taking these concerns into consideration, Governor Abba has acted swiftly by appointing Dr. Ibrahim Muhammad as the new CMD. Dr. Ibrahim brings a wealth of experience as an accomplished administrator and pediatrician to the position.

Additionally, the government has directed the deployment of two additional consultants, Dr. Jamila Sani and Dr. Aisha Yahaya, to oversee and manage the specialist clinic.
